poni is at his peak…after next season he will start winding down….Zherdev hasnt even gotten close to his peak yet

Its like apples and oranges

btw poni needs a better agent…

anyway the rangers are not going to deal with toronto so this is pointlessthe rangers are looking to aquire a big time player involving a trade with Zherdev

But maybe Toronto should look to make that big time deal for a big player if poni could land them the deal…lol

2nd, I don't think Ponikarovsky is great. He's at best a bit better than average. He's used as a comparison to give you Rangers fans some perspective on your own group of mid level forwards. Don't worry though, yours is a pretty common attitude for fans who don't really follow any other team but their own and lack some fundamental hockey knowledge.

Zherdev is an under acheiving forward who wants to be paid like an elite guy. A team might reasonably take a chance on him, hoping that he lives up to his potential…however, he could merely be another Satan, Afinogenov or whatever other skilled underachieving forward who failed to live up to his potential.
